Yoga Therapy for Back Pain DVD

This is an essential yoga DVD for those who suffer from the most common forms of back pain. I love how there are several sequences to choose from to target where and what type of back pain you have, as well as being able to choose a longer or shorter yoga practice for each sequence. If you are not sure what yoga sequence would be best for your back, the introduction chapter gives a great overview of the types and symptoms of different back conditions. The DVD is filmed in a studio against a white backdrop and Kligerman teaches by way of voiceover while practicing alongside a student who demonstrates the easier pose variations. All the sequences are similar, gentle and easy to do so it will not take long for even a beginner to feel comfortable with these practices. The yoga practices range from 15 to 44 minutes in length and there are the following menu choices: Intro, General Back, Upper Back, Bulging Disk, Sacro-Iliac Joint, Sciatic Pain, Chair Practice, and Meditation.

Yogic Wisdom

When the breath wanders the mind also is unsteady. But when the breath is calmed the mind too will be still, and the yogi achieves long life. Therefore, one should learn to control the breath.
